I teach drama to children ages 9-12. It was nice to find something that did not play down to them and was simple to memorize and stage.

I took this book to the beach for the kids to have something to do if the weather turned bad, it did, and the whole family loved it. The kids got to be creative and work together to put on a play for the rest of the family. Even my [...] year old got to play a part (with my help) and because they are familiar kid fairy tales, they already knew how they wanted to act out their character.

Any type of plays/readers theater are a great way to involve all students in reading. My students enjoy these stories very much. This is a great way to make reading fun for students and can be used in the classroom with reading groups/whole group or at home with different family members reading different parts, a great way to practice reading and spend time together. Readers of all ages will get a kick out of reading these very adorable plays.

Super fun and short for young kids. The 5th and 6th graders at my school memorized and performed all 12 fractured fairy tails and had an absolute blast. I highly recommend this text.

humorous fairy tales for elementary age students - a colleague and I were laughing so hard ourselves at the humor in the plays!

I love this book. I wanted interesting plays that could be used with 5th graders. The students love the plays and are motivated to read them. I also like this book because it gives you a teacher page- discussion starters, vocabulary, and writing prompts to use with each play. Awesome!!

This is a great set of short plays for the beginning musical theater student. They are fun with a new twist and the kids can relate to them. They also offer opportunity for discussion about life lessons.

Ordered these books for my third graders and they absolutely love them! We do theater week each six weeks and they love being able to create their own costumes and learn their lines, and these plays are funny and short enough for the kids to learn quickly in groups and perform. Great way to enhance their fluency and social skills!

I received this book in wonderful condition and very quickly. It was exactly what I was looking for to use in my Summer Reading Program.

Jack Elliott Productions and the Tracy Performing Arts Foundation is using "Fabulously Funny Fairy Tale Plays" as a part of our Children's Theatre Summer Camp this year and it's a bit hit with both our instructors and the little ones.
